A Resolution to stop making the Penny Penny Production shouldn’t be stopped. Some of the problems that will arise are that prices will increase‚ the poor will suffer‚ and nickels cost even more than pennies to make‚ thus wasting more of our money. According to Susan T Leadly‚ an About.com Guide‚ “Americans are traditionalists and the Lincoln cent is the epitome of modern day circulating coin tradition.” We must keep using the penny because eliminating it would hurt us‚ not help us.

writer’s grandparents feel that a penny is worth bending over and picking it off of the ground every time they come across one. Benjamin Franklin once said‚ “A penny saved is a penny earned” (BrainyQuote 2016). If you pick up every penny that you find‚ they eventually will add up. There used to be candy stores that had penny candy but nowadays‚ there is nothing that actually costs a penny. Many people look down at the ground‚ see a penny and leave it there. For them‚ the penny is not worth any effort to

The Penny What do you think about the penny? The penny is a coin that is worth one cent. It is made of copper and zinc. Should we keep this coin or get rid of it? The thing is‚ we should get rid of it. We shouldn’t keep the penny because it is worthless‚ wastes time‚ and costs more to produce than it is worth. The penny takes up too much space in many ways. The penny is rarely used and is usually just put or thrown away. “We often store them in jars...” (Sommer). Why do people store them in jars

Pennies don’t put in their two cents for their place as a part of American currency. It’s not like they’re particularly useful. Almost nobody picks them up unless it’s in the hope that the face of the long-deceased Abraham Lincoln might bring them good fortune of some odd sort. Thieves don’t scrounge around people’s pockets for pennies‚ and then have the person call the police for their missing penny. When most people say that they want to keep the penny‚ most of the time it will simply be an infantile

Should the U.S. Government Keep the Penny in Circulation? Annoying cashiers was something my siblings and I did quite unintentionally as kids. Down the block from the street we lived on‚ there was a little convenience store that sold Italian ices‚ ice cream bars‚ and a variety of assorted goodies; on hot summer days‚ we would gather what little change we could find in the couch cushions and pay for our selected treats with pennies‚ nickels‚ dimes‚ and‚ if the cashier was lucky‚ quarters. That was

Percent Composition of a Penny Background Information: Post-1983 pennies have a copper jacket and a zinc core. We hope to determine the percent composition of these two metals. This will be done by reacting the zinc with hydrochloric acid to form zinc ions in a single replacement reaction. The acid reacts with the zinc but not copper. The reaction of zinc metal with the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Safety: Wear your safety goggles and apron If you spill Hydrochloric

Copper in a Penny Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent mass of Cu in a penny and see if the fabricator that makes the planchets for the government is using the correct amounts of Cu in the pennies. The composition of a standard penny is 97.5% Zn and 2.5% Cu. In the lab we will be using Beer’s Law (A=elc+b where A is solution absorbance‚ e is a constant called molar absorbency‚ l is the length in cm‚ and c is the concentration). Using Beer’s Law in this lab a colorimeter

Dylan McFarland 9/15/14 Honors Chemistry Richardson Lab: Measuring the Density of Pennies Pre-Lab Questions: 1. The equation that relates density‚ mass‚ and volume is: density = mass / volume. 2. All substances have unique densities‚ so if you are able to find the density of a substance‚ you can properly identify it. 3. We measure irregular-shaped objects with the use of water displacement because it would be nearly impossible to get the exact measurements
